The following website says it is the official Coronado Hotel website. Hope it helps:

OK, maybe it's not the 'official' site...sigh.....seems to have the same info that many other sites have. As far as I can tell, the Coronado doesn't have its own website. They seem to just rely on other sites to do the booking for them. But if I do find the REAL Coronado website, I'll post it here.

Good luck, GoTravel!

My company pats Google to come up high on the search engine, so this practice definitely does exist. We get a lot more calls now since we started advertising with Google, but I admit when I try searching for hotels and other things it is frustrating searching through links of Expedia, Travelocity and other consolidator sites before finding the legit link! We are now forced to look at the wed address instead of the description to see if we have a legit link!!

One thing I tried once that was pretty good was Copernic. It's a downloadable program that searches the search engines and you can tweak it to suit your needs.

When I called 2 reservation numbers, both said that there were no rooms available for Coronado Hotel even though I gave them 2 dates. When I called the hotel directly (305-866-1625), there was no answer.

I suspect that Google did not give you the website because Coronado is no more. ((C))
